This book offers a unique approach to memory studies by focusing on
local memory work conducted across the divide of the fall of
Communism, whereas other histories have consistently used 1989 as a
watershed moment. By examining the ways in which the Holocaust has
been exhibited in Krakow, it investigates the impact local memory
work has had on Polish collective memory and problematizes the
importance of the fall of Communism for memory work. Using the
Polish case study, it contributes to international debates on the
nature of urban memory. It brings to the fore the role of
mid-ranking governmental and municipal activists for local
remembrance, investigates the relationship between the form and the
content of the exhibitions, and highlights the importance of
authenticity and emotional evocations for Holocaust remembrance. In
particular, it focuses on the emergence of cosmopolitan memory of
the Holocaust, a process with local, Krakow, sources.
